The display is a little clearer than the iPad 2 but unless this really bothers you, you can save money by buying the 2, which is also slightly lighter, so less tiring to hold.

Bad points:

None except the price. The built in speaker is mono but I almost always use headphones, anyway. You can either plug in to or Bluetooth to external speakers, so it is not something that bothers me, personally.

It can do so much, a lot of it is very gimmicky, but a lot does save time etc. And the free games are good - I bought mine as I travel by air a lot and it distracts me and really passes the time quickly - which is great as I don't particularly care for flying! Web pages open quickly! The best thing is the camera, it is so clear!!

Bad points:

It is a lot of money to spend for what it does, if it lasts a few years then all well and good but I had an ipod touch a while back and after 2 years it just stopped working - and that was the 64 gb, most expensive one!

Product Features

3G allows mobile phones and mobile dongles to achieve broadband speeds similar to that of home broadband. This allows users to browse the internet, email and download files and video whilst on the move.

Battery life is important if you travel a lot. Long train journeys can be a pain if you don’t get more than 3 hours of life out of your laptop. It’s worth remembering that a lot of trains offer power sockets now so don’t be put off by a low battery life unless your lifestyle demands ultra portability.

Bluetooth is a technology for the wireless transfer of data such as contacts, photos and music between mobile phones, computers and a host of other Bluetooth enabled devices. Read more about Bluetooth on Wikipedia

Where ‘slate’ tablets are standalone touchscreen computers, ‘convertible’ tablets have keyboards that mean the device can function as a laptop. Once the keyboard is folded away, the screen can then be used as touchscreen.

‘Hybrid’ tablets function similarly to ‘convertible’ tablets but the keyboard and screen can often be completely separated, allowing for more portability.

Manufacturer's Description

Pick up the new iPad and suddenly, it’s clear. You’re actually touching your photos, reading a book, playing the piano. Nothing comes between you and what you love. To make that hands-on experience even better, we made the fundamental elements of iPad better — the display, the camera, the wireless connection. All of which makes the new, third-generation iPad capable of so much more than you ever imagined.
